Not quite. D is correct.

GNP equals GDP plus net factor payments from abroad. If GDP is greater than GNP, factor payments to foreign residents must exceed factor receipts from abroad.

A: why it's wrongA budget deficit reflects fiscal policy (tax revenues versus government spending) and is not mathematically linked to the difference between GDP and GNP.

B: why it's wrongA trade surplus concerns net exports of goods and services, whereas the gap between GDP and GNP depends on international factor income flows.

Why

Not quite. B is correct.

The change in inventory equals production minus sales. If sales exceed production, firms draw from their existing stock, causing inventory investment to be negative.

A: why it's wrongWhen production exceeds sales, unsold goods accumulate, resulting in an increase (positive change) in business inventories.

B: why it's wrongWhen firms sell more than they produce during a period, they must draw down their existing stocks, leading to a negative change in inventories.
